Italian is a useful language only, if you wanna research on Somali history, especially 'Somalia Italiana'. They have written many colonial books in Italian, which are not translated till today and contain a lot of information. Italian is indeed beautiful, my second favourite Roman language after Spanish.

Thanks walaal! I will try.
f*ck no, this is a form of pseudo-colonialism do you want us to be like central Africa where French is spoken as a first language?
Whats the difference? Most young Diaspora Somalis only speak English.

Is it truly richer though? Maybe legally but Backdoor wise I highly doubt that
We don't speak colonaial languages cause we are not jarers with no history we have our own history and pride
We don't even speak Arabic, as far as language goes we should stick to our own language and it's not like we speak any other language other then somali

Wallahi, ngl, Italian is probably the nicest European language to hear; I could listen to a woman speak Italian all morning and evening. Italian also has a reputation for being a tongue of class and culture. However, when it comes to the global stage, it's really not that significant. Tbh, it kind of sounds like coonery for Somalia, a former Italian colony, to learn Italian. At least West African nations have one another when it comes to the French language. What other former Italian colony continues to speak Italian? Does Eritrea still use it when conducting business? Does Libya? If not, then there's surely absolutely no reason for us to teach Italian in schools.

English is vastly more superior. Italian doesn't compare to its usefulness. The reasons:
1. Scope: English has a much farther scope in how many nations speak it. Italian doesn't compare here, so communication, business and academic opportunities are less viable with Italian than English.
2. Political usefulness: As English is known as an international language, it's political usefulness is akin to Arabic within the Middle East, Italian is only useful in Italy and regions where Italian is spoken. No where else in this regard.
3. Financial prospects: This could be connected to point one, but it's importance warrants its own point. Italian will only assist you in business and job prospects in Italy. English, Spanish, French, Mandarin, Hindi, and Mandarin/Korean/Japanese are the most useful, with English being the most useful in this regard, and it's not even close.
For languages utilized in Somalia for its usefulness, English is a much more viable language to equip than Italian.

Interesting. I'm in North America though, so I don't think that'd apply to my life. But interesting broGerman is a prominent business language in Europe. According to statistics, German has proven to provide the highest annual wage bonuses compared to French and Spanish with 3.8 percent bonus.
